Moms Says "No!" Book by Homeschooler

Dear Homeschool Group Leader:

I would be honored if you would pass this information along to your group. My 19 year-old son and I published this book together, making it a true “work of heart”. I believe that it serves as a testimony to all homeschoolfamilies. Home education is so much more than “doing school work at home”. Homeschool parents have the opportunity to nurture and cultivate the many talents that are born into our children, producing adults who are passionate about their work and grounded in the strength of the family structure.

This simple, heart-warming story defines the connection between love and discipline. Told from a child's perspective, the main character feels unloved by his mother because she often tells him "no" when she corrects his behavior. All is resolved at bedtime when his mother declares her love for her son, explaining to him that mischievous behavior can never change a mother's love for her child.

About the Author:
Rebecca Gresch is a homeschool mother of 4 children, with number 5 on the way! This book was sketched and written when her oldest child, Adam, was only a baby. That was over twenty years ago.
Fast-forward to the Spring of 2011. Rebecca dusted off her crude, hand-drawn version of the book and set her mind on publishing it before the year's end. Her second oldest child, Joel jumped into the project, cleaning up the sketched illustrations and making them into the digital masterpieces that bring this story to life.

Joel Gresch is nineteen years old, majoring in Graphic Arts at Florida State College. This book represents his first published work in the graphic design industry. How fitting that this story about a boy and his mom was published with loving collaboration between mother and son.
